Cris Michaud Scores First Ever Win For Ford Crate Engine

Barre, VT- Cris Michaud of Northfield, VT captured the first ever victory for a Ford Crate Engine in American Canadian Tour history at Thunder Road International Speedbowl on Casella Waste Management Night. Michaud drives the lone Ford engine in ACT competition since its inception this season. Countless hours of testing and tuning by Michaud and his crew have made the Ford Crate Engine competitive both at Thunder Road and on various tracks visited by the ACT Tour.

Michaud got by Doug Murphy with five laps remaining in the 50 lap main event. Murphy would hold on to second and his second straight podium finish. Reno Gervais worked his way from the seventh starting position to finish third followed by Trampas Demers and Jerry Lesage rounding out the top five. Phil Scott came all the way from 15th to finish sixth, Nick Sweet seventh, Jamie Fisher eighth, Joey Becker ninth and Dave Pembroke took tenth.

The NAPA Tiger Sportsmen Casella Waste Management Feature saw a three car breakaway for the win. Eric Badore of Milton won his second feature event of the 2009 season and his NAPA Tiger Sportsmen career. Badore held off runner-up finisher Ray Stearns and third place Shawn Fleury as they broke away from the rest of the field. Pete Ainsworth and Brian Delphia finished fourth and fifth respectively while David Finck, Ricky Roberts, Neal Foster, Mike Billado and Joey Laquerre filled the sixth through tenth positions.

Tucker Williams of Hyde Park, VT captured his third Allen Lumber Street Stock Feature win of his rookie career in the Casella Waste Management feature. Jason Allen inherited the second place after Jeff Martin had issues in the tech line due to too much left side weight. That also allowed Martin Ingram to move into third followed by Troy Gray and William Hennequin finishing in the top five. Sixth through tenth was Greg Adams, David Allen, Scott Weston, Mike Martin and Tim Campbell.

Northfield’s John Prentice took home the Power Shift Junkyard Warriors Monza style feature. The first eight laps the Warriors drove in reverse before turning around for the final 25 laps. Prentice was given the win for finishing third in both segments. Kevin Streeter came home second after losing the tie-breaker to Prentice. Apparent third place finisher Mark LaFleche was disqualified in the tech line for too much camber, handing third place to Ken Christman. Kevin Wheatley and Kevin Dodge rounded out the top five.

Next Thursday, July 30th is WDEV/Calkins Night with special guest Richard Petty. “The King” will be on hand for a Meet and Greet session for fans from 5:45 to 6:30.

Northeastern Speedway 50-year reunion a big success despite local opposition

WATERFORD, Vermont (July 23, 2009) – Despite a fierce effort by a few neighbors to prevent it from happening, the 50-year reunion celebration at Northeastern Speedway went off as scheduled last Saturday, July 18.
The event was heralded as a huge success by the promoter and race fans alike.
Speedway owner Paul Bellefeuille had worked for 15 months to ensure the event took place, cutting down trees, smoothing the soil, planting acres of grass and meeting with town officials. And although weather forecasts called for heavy rains lasting well into Saturday morning, they moved out earlier than predicted – giving all those in attendance a bright, sunny day to enjoy the variety of cars and large number of former drivers gathered.
“This turned out better than I had ever dreamed,” Bellefeuille said. “I did the best I could to prepare and hoped for the best. What I got was larger than life; the drivers all came, we drew cars from all over New England and everyone had a great time. We wanted to recognize and draw attention to those who made this such a famous track from 1959 to 1966.”
Former drivers and officials on hand for the celebration included 1959 track champion Johnny Gammell; 1960 champion Glenn Andrews; 1964 title holder Denny Dearborn; Charlie Ely, the man who built Northeastern back in ’59; Skip Easter; Pete Racine, Russ Ingerson, Junior Coffin, Ken Robinson, Buddy Bardwell, Paul Belknap, Ronnie ‘Satch’ Hunt, Glen Gadapee, former race director Reg Garand, Alden Aiken, editor of the original Racing News; Charlotte and Alvin Fadden, wife and son of legendary driver Stanley ‘Stub’ Fadden; Pete Blackadar, widow of original flagman Archie Blackadar; and Ricky Marvin, son of former track champion Ronnie Marvin. This group represented the very finest of early short track drivers and race officials ever assembled in northern New England.
“Our driver recognition ceremony brought tears to the faces of many, including my own,” Bellefeuille added. “It was an emotional day I’ll never forget, and I hope we’ll be able to do this annually and help keep those great racing memories alive.”
What fans discovered as they entered the grounds was a pristine old racetrack in amazing shape after over 40 years of neglect. As those fans poured in, restored Coupes from around the northeast rolled in to help reproduce the magic this historic oval once produced.
With nice weather conditions and plenty to look at, fans roamed the speedway grounds all day enjoying stories, getting autographs and taking lots of pictures. The Bob Doyle Museum was in the pit area, staffed by Vermont auto racing historian Cho Lee, who knows more than anybody else on the planet about the old Coupes. Lloyd Hutchins was on hand with his beautiful restored cars, drawing attention throughout the day.
They came from northern New Hampshire, Central Maine and even the west coast, all to celebrate the rich history if this 1/5-mile paved oval in the Northeast Kingdom. Ely flew in from California to attend the event, as did Aiken.
For Paul and Lise Bellefeuille, it was the ultimate reward for tons of hard work. But for those old drivers, car owners and their families, it was a show of appreciation and respect they’ll never forget. And neither should any good self-respecting race fan. Without the efforts of the men recognized last Saturday at that tiny little bullring in northern Vermont, short track stock car racing would have never evolved into the true giant it is today here in the northeast. We all owe them a tremendous debt for laying the foundation for the sport we know and love today.

TD BANK 250 WINNER ENTERS ACT BEECH RIDGE 150

Waterbury, VT – Eddie MacDonald from Rowley, MA has entered the American Canadian Tour (ACT) championship at the Beech Ridge Motor Speedway (BRMS) this Saturday night. The winner of the TD Bank 250 at the Oxford Plains Speedway last Sunday will take his Rollie Lachance-led team to BRMS to compete in the ACT point-counting event.

Red MacDonald, the owner of Lee USA Speedway and father of one of New England’s brightest stock car stars said, “Eddie wanted to work on his NASCAR Camping World East car this weekend to get ready for a race at Adirondack Speedway in a couple of weeks. I told him it was just a one-day  race at Beech Ridge and we needed to go race this Saturday. I told him I would put the ACT Late Model back together after the tear down last Sunday night if he was willing to head up the road about an hour this Saturday.”

MacDonald headlined a stellar field of cars last Sunday at the 36th annual summer classic at Oxford Plains where he captured over $35,000.00 in prize money, and put his name in the storied history books of winners of the prestigious “Oxford 250”. “We really have fun racing with these Late Models and when we see the mix of veteran drivers like Brad Leighton, Mike Rowe, Brian Hoar, Brent Dragon along with the new stars like Joey Polewarczyk, Nick Sweet and Scott Payea, we know we are going to have to battle all day. It is a lot of fun,” said MacDonald.

Post time for the Beech Ridge ACT 150 is 6:00 pm this Saturday, July 25, 2009.

PASS Super Late Models, Mods highlight Summerfest at Riverside

NAPLES ME – (7/21/2009) There’s something for everyone this weekend when Groveton New Hampshire’s Riverside Speedway once again hosts Summerfest 2009, a weekend of motorized mayhem that promises to be bigger and better than ever.

Presented by Dalton Mountain Motors and the Marshall Insurance Agency, the two day extravaganza kicks off on Friday with the $1,000.00 to win Ray Haskell Memorial 100 for street stocks plus late models, and daredevils. The monster trucks share the spotlight, with Predator and Pouncer on hand to wow the fans. The action gets underway at 7:00 PM.

On Saturday night its PASS time, with the lightning quick Pro All Stars Series super late models taking center stage for 150 laps of green flag racing on the tough quarter mile. The popular PASS Mods share the spotlight with Riverside’s own Cyclones, Daredevils and Angels, plus another round of monster truck thrills and chills with Predator and Pouncer. Saturday’s events kick off at 5:00 PM .

There’s free camping on site and best of all, a two day ticket is just $25.00 for adults, $20.00 for juniors and seniors and eight bucks for kids five to nine. Friday only adult tickets are $12.00, and Saturday’s is $15.00.

2008 PASS North super late model Champion Johnny Clark kicked off his title charge at Riverside last season, earning the victory in a downpour over Travis Benjamin and Derek Ramstrom. Clark currently holds a forty five point lead over Ramstrom in the standings, and Adam Bates trails Ramstrom by just four points.

Andy Shaw has been on a tear in the PASS Mods, winning three of the first five races and topping the point standings by a 30 point margin over Scott Grant. Steve Bennett Jr. trails Grant by two markers in third. Fourth place points man Bill Dixon was the 2008 Summerfest PASS Mod winner, and he’ll be looking to gain ground on Shaw and the others with another Riverside win.

Thompson, CT (July 16, 2009): Thompson International Speedway implemented the new NASCAR rule where the leader decides if they want to restart on the inside or the outside.  With weather moving in the action was hot and heavy.  The rains came within minutes of the final checker flag of the evening.  The TIS Modifieds did double duty as they ran two features, the Super Late Models had their 50 lap extra distance race.  Ted Christopher took down a highly contested win in Sunoco Modified action.  Larry Barnett continued his domination in the Limited Sportsman division.  Tommy O’Sullivan took down his first Late Model victory of the season as did Scott Michalski in the Mini Stocks.

Kerry Malone led the field to the green flag in Sunoco Modified action.  Blewett grabbed the lead on lap 1.  Malone had heavy pressure from Woody Pitkat who went low and took the spot on lap 3.  Pitkat then glued himself to Blewetts’s back bumper.  A lap later he went low and took the lead; however, Blewett wasn’t giving up easily.  Ted Christopher now joined the fray in fourth and brought Keith Rocco with him.  Rocco dove low under Christopher and took over the fourth spot and on the backstretch took over third.  The action was slowed by a spin by John Catania.

On the restart Blewett jumped out to the lead but Josh Sylvester made heavy contact with the wall in between turns 1 and 2.  When we went back to green, Blewett went back to the lead but Pitkat went high and took over the top spot bringing Rocco with him.  Christopher went high on Blewett and took over third.  Rocco took over the top spot after making slight contact with Pitkat.  Christopher followed Rocco and grabbed second.  Tim Sullivan had made his way up to the fifth spot.  Just past halfway Christopher went low and took over the lead for a split second over Rocco who then took the spot back.  Christopher inherited the lead when contact between Pitkat and Rocco sent Rocco hard into the wall in turns 1 & 2.

With the green back in the air, Christopher came across the line first.  In almost the same spot where Rocco just hit, Harry Rheaume made hard contact with the wall.  TC and Pitkat restarted their battle with the green flag back in the air.  Sullivan went low and took the third spot from Rowan Pennink.  On lap 21 Pitkat went low and took over the top spot. A spin by Rick D’Abate slowed the field again his machine onto pit road for some attention.

Pitkat took the inside for the restart.  It was a smart move as he took off with Christopher falling back.  Christopher went low and retook the spot.  Pitkat wasn’t giving up and battled back.  He was looking high and low lap after lap.  Pennink made contact with the backstretch wall slowing the field again.

At lap 26 it was a single file restart.  Christopher again took the lead but again Pitkat wasn’t going to lie down and give up.  He looked high in turn 4, low in turn 1 and applied the pressure.  Bert Marvin had moved his way up to fourth.  After taking the white flag, Pitkat took the lead but he and Christopher made contact between 3 and 4 and TC took down the win.

Jeff Connors led the Super Late Models down to the green flag for the start of their 50-lap feature.  Rick Fuller, Derek Ramstrom,and Larry Gelinas were the top 4.  The battle for the fifth spot was between Jay Macedonio and Jim Banfield.  Macedonio took the spot.  Banfield  wasn’t going to let him get too far ahead as he fought back.  During this battle Norm Wrenn reeled them in.  Banfield took the fifth spot bringing Wrenn along for the ride.

The top 3 of Connors, Fuller and Ramstrom had checked out on the rest of the field.  Gelinas was running by himself in fourth.  Banfield still held the fifth position.  On lap 16 ,Fuller went under Connors for the lead bringing Ramstrom with him.  Gelinas had managed to catch up to Connors.  It was now a 2 car battle for the lead and a two car battle for the third spot

At the halfway mark it was Fuller, Ramstrom, Connors, Gelinas and Banfield in the top 5.  The field had settled into single file racing.  At lap 29 Ramstrom took a peek under Fuller.  A lap later he made the pass for the lead.  Fuller battled back under Ramstrom but the youngster held him off.  Ramstrom then opened up a sizeable lead. Mike O’Sullivan nosed his way under Wrenn trying to grab the sixth spot.  With ten laps to go this was the heaviest contested spot.  Gelinas was trying to make a move on Connors with 5 to go looking to grab the fourth spot.  With 2 to go O’Sullivan took the spot from Wrenn and set his sights on Banfield.

Ramstrom took home his second consecutive race.  Connors held on by inches to take the second spot.   Connors, Gelinas and O’Sullivan rounded out the top 5.

In Late Model action Rick Gentes started outside the front row and took off like he was shot out of a cannon into the lead.  Tommy O’Sullivan followed him along with Jay Stuart and Jeff Zuidema.  Zuidema was applying pressure on Stuart looking high and low.  John Materas was looking on, waiting for one of them to bobble so he could make his move.  The yellow flew on lap 8 as Frank Mirabito went up in smoke.

On the restart it was again Gentes and  O’Sullivan  but now Zuidema moved into third.  Jay Stuart and Materas rounded out the top 5.   Contact between Stuart and Materas brought out the yellow and sent Materas to the rear of the field for his actions.

Gentes and O’Sullivan were door to door on the restart with O’Sullivan getting by Gentes.  Zuidema was third, Mark Oliveira and Jeremy Sadowski were battling for the fourth position.  Meanwhile up front it was a tight battle for the lead with O’Sullivan, Gentes and Zuidema.  Lap after lap O’Sullivan and Gentes battled side by side giving the crowd an awesome race.   Unfortunately on lap 21 the yellow flew again by a spin by Damen Tinio.  This would bring up a single file restart.

O’Sullivan rocketed out to the lead on the restart with Gentes trying to close the gap.  At the checkers it was O’Sullivan, Gentes, Zuidema, and Materas.  Ron Levesque, Jr. and Damon Tinio made hard contact as they came down the straightaway to take the checker flag.

Jesse Gleason took the lead in the Limited Sportsman feature and took a sizeable lead over Jay Sundeen.  Behind Sundeen the battles were furious.  There was side by side action between 4 cars all vying for the third spot.  Larry Barnett finally took the spot but not without pressure from Joe Coates.  By lap 8 everyone had settled into position and took chase on Gleason, Sundeen and Barnett.

Sundeen and Barnett had cut down Gleason’s lead.  Barnett was looking low on Sundeen who in turn was looking low on Gleason.  With 5 to go, the battle was hot and heavy between Sundeen and Barnett.  With 3 to go Barnett took over second and went low on Gleason and took the lead.  Hard impact with the turn 3 wall for Steven Cole brought out the yellow and negated Barnett’s pass for the lead.  Also involved was Jason Chicolas.

The restart was negated by a yellow for the spinning cars of Joe Arena & Shawn Monahan.

Barnett motored by Gleason to take the lead with 2 to go.  He never looked back as he checked out on the rest of the field.  Gleason, Sundeen, Joe Coates and Butch Chamberland rounded out the top 5.

Jeff Moffat took the early lead but he had pressure from Mike Viens and Billy Pomposelli in Mini Stock action.  Randy Churchill was on a mission as he passed Pomposelli and set his sights on Viens.  Churchill passed Viens and glued himself to Moffat’s bumper; however Scott Michalski passed Moffat and Churchill to take the lead.  Unfortunately, the yellow flew and negated his pass for the lead. He regained the lead on the restart.  Just a few laps later the yellow flew again for a spin by Pomposelli.  The restart came with 3 to go. Sc. Michalski jumped out to the lead and never looked back.

R. J. Marcotte jumped out to the lead in the first TIS Modified feature.  He went unchallenged until the halfway mark when Cam McDermott caught right up to his back bumper.  Saturday’s winner Brian Tagg was making his move trying to catch the top 2.  McDermott was looking low and finally took the lead on lap 15.  Marcotte didn’t give up without a fight but McDermott took home his first win.  Marcotte, Tagg, Brian Sullivan and Leo Oliveira rounded out the top 5.

In the second feature for the TIS  Modifieds there was a melee on the initial start involving a number of competitors.  The next attempt was negated also as Jeff Barrows spun.

The third time was the charm as Brian Sullivan took lead but Brian Tagg wasn’t going let that go easily.  There was a heated battle between the two as they kept swapping the lead. O’Sullivan eventually took total control of the top spot but Tagg not letting him get away that easily.  Tagg looked low and made contact relegating him back to fourth behind Sullivan, Cam McDermott & Glen Boss.  McDermott kept looking under Sullivan waiting to make his move.  With 5 to go the yellow flew for a spin by Barrows.   Sullivan kept the lead on the restart.  Brian Tagg made his way back into third.  R. J.
